It’s nice to be in the 6th spot right now and the 5th would be even better, but the most important thing standings-wise is to match up with the Atlanta Hawks in the first round. We don’t match up well with Orlando and Boston, and Cleveland isn’t going to lose to us when it really matters. Atlanta is our best shot at advancing. Interesting move to sign Larry Hughes. I think it could work, although team chemistry isn’t something he’s ever added to in his career. Gerald Wallace will miss a couple games due to his ankle injury, so we should see some Larry right away.
Also…great column by Bonnell.
